Mekong Delta educationists call for tie-ups

Collaborative programs between universities will help Mekong Delta provinces improve their educational level and create a skilled workforce, experts said at a conference on education in Can Tho Saturday.

The region’s education system lags far behind that of other areas, they warned.

Strengthening cooperation between universities will make it more affordable, help make full use of all educational aids, and thus improve overall quality, they said.

Cooperative programs will be a key factor in creating a skilled workforce for the region, Dr Ngo Tan Luc, president of Tien Giang University, said.
